Rebel Alliance Planets?

Does anyone have a list of most of the planets that were involved in the Rebel Alliance(im talking the Mon Mothma-Bail Organa rebellion).Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

As hardcore Purists would tell you, there's only three planets in the Rebellion. Alderaan, Sullust and Mon Calamari.

What's scary is that some actually think the entire Imperial Starfleet is at Endor.

 

The Rebel Alliance never really "had" any planets. They had supporters on various plaents like Alderaan and stuff, but they didn't actually control, in the sense of governing, them.

The original three signatories of the Rebel Alliance was Mon Mothma of Chandrila, Bail Organa of Alderaan, and Garm Bel Iblis of Corellia. All three of those planets were largely anti-Imperial, but they were never under control of the Rebellion and had to obey Imperial law until they were liberated after RotJ. (Well, not so much for Alderaan ).

I can't name all of the worlds that were pro-Rebel, but most of them were in the Outer Rim. The better-known ones were in the Core, and only consisted of a few (Chandrila, Ralltiir, Corellia to an extent, maybe Commenor).

Rebel bases included Yavin IV, Hoth VI, Derra IV, Arbra, and eventually Endor. Some others as well.

The only real planets that the Rebellion "owned" at the point of RotJ were Mon Calamari and Sullust (I think). In both those planets, the natives had struggled to liberate their planets from the technologically superior Empire.

 

Sturm is Mon Calamari canon? Was never mentioned in the movies.

 

What's scary is that some actually think the entire Imperial Starfleet is at Endor.

That's the only thing that really annoys me about purism. It doesn't make any sense!!!!

 

Mon Calamari is still part of ROTJ's background notes, so it's movie canon to a certain extent. Just as "Sith" was until '99.

 

thanks for this info

EDITff topic but who can I talk to about getting this user name changed?

 

It's a joke , Sturm. I assume you haven't encounterd"If it's not in the movie, it's not canon" purists?

 

Yeah, I was hesitant to mention it for that reason.

I love those Purists, actually. Because I get to say, "So Vader wasn't a Sith before 1999? He was in fact just a Dark Jedi going by Tarkin's words..."

 

Hee hee...come on, you have to love the Star Wars purists!

Now, when you're asking what planets the Alliance had, do you mean actually occupied, or ones that were sympathetic? If I remember, a ton of books and games mention that a lot of planets were Rebellion sympathizers, I just assume they couldn't just do too much about it without ticking off the Imperials.

 

Some guy said earlier that the Rebel Alliance didn`t HAVE any planets. And this is quite correct.
The planets that before the Battle Of Endor openly supported the Rebel Alliance, were quite quikly silenced by the Imperial war machine. But planets like Raltiir and Averam were known to convertly support the Alliance and held cells of fighters.

 

What is ironic is Yavin IV was the site where Sith Lord Exar Kun had his Massasi Temple built, the good guys chilled where the bad guys used to chill.

 

Well, actually, I should take that back. The only two planets that the Rebellion owned (besides all those bases) by the end of RotJ were Mon Cal and Sullust. Those two planets were actually free of Imperial rule.

 

I'd say they owned Endor after RotJ too.

I don't know if it's possible to change a user name. You would have to ask a mod. But why don't you just make a sock and use it instead of your present ID? Just a suggestion.

 

Don't forget, Bothawui and Kothlis were sympathetic, and the colony on Kothlis was destroyed because of it.

 

Ultima_1:"I'd say they owned Endor after RotJ too."

Unlikely too near impossible unless the Rebels like Glass planets that is what happens when a 800 km Death Star explodes in orbit. http://www.theforce.net/swtc/holocaust.html Mr. Saxton's page. I won't even do the copy & paste thing I'll jump give you the link. If they kept Endor as a Base, it'd be a fueling station or something nothing is of value their even if Endor wasn't dead.

 

In case you hadn't noticed, Star Wars doesn't often follow the rules of physics. If an 800 kilometer space station were orbiting Endor, the tides would change, earthquakes would occur, and the planet would generally change in structure, devestating it long before anyone started firing any superlasers. If real physics were being followed, X-Wings wouldn't fly like planes, and you couldn't go out into near vacuum(or total vacuum in some cases, according to the Chewbacca comic book) with just a breathmask. Star Wars physics never make a great deal of sense, but it doesn't really matter. It's still great stuff, and I'm pretty sure that, thanks to those crazy physics, those Ewoks are all still dancing happily away.

 

as warlord ken said, the alliance only had the support of some planets. there was correlia,, chandrillia, alderaan, mon calamari, and some others.

also, wasn't endor obliterated after the battle? (i havn't read the tech commentaries in a LONG time)

 

>What is ironic is Yavin IV was the site where Sith Lord Exar Kun had his Massasi Temple built, >the good guys chilled where the bad guys used to chill.

Quite true. Actually, though, long before the Sith retreated to the moon, Yavin IV was barren and lifeless. It was the ancient Jedi who colonized the moon and terraformed it. They also seeded the continents of the moon with plants, and animals. So the good guys "chilled" where the Sith *and* the Jedi "chilled".

>also, wasn't endor obliterated after the battle? (i havn't read the tech commentaries in a LONG >time)

NO. A lot of the debris from the Death Star was probably thrown into space or engulfed by the gas giant. The remains of the reactor core disappeared into a wormhole known as Endor's Gate and ended up on Mon Calamari. Endor was left mostly unharmed by the explosion and was even a tourist attraction in the years following the Battle of Endor.

By the way, everything in Curtis Saxton's essay on the fate of Endor is fan fiction. It has no relation to actual post-Battle of Endor events.

Yeah, the Tech Commentaries idea that Endor was destroyed by fallout from the Death Star II is supposedly hogwash.

One way to find out is to look at the Thrawn Trilogy. I believe in Dark Force Rising (but I can't be sure) both Councilor Leia Organa Solo and Grand Admiral Thrawn pay visits to Endor. I don't know if they actually describe the condition of the planets, but surely if the planet was dead the book would have said so (being as it was the first EU novel to take place after RotJ).

 

After Endor I imagine lots of planets openly joined the rebel alliance and said up yours to the Empire. But I have no names...what about the commander of the fifth fleet from the BFC wasn't he from a planet which held of Imperial occupation...dunno wether they were affiliated with the alliance - also don't u think its a bit odd that a single star system held off the Empire?

 

Yeah, I was hesitant to mention it for that reason.

I love those Purists, actually. Because I get to say, "So Vader wasn't a Sith before 1999? He was in fact just a Dark Jedi going by Tarkin's words..."

Right, and THEN they turn right around and begin arguing about how there cannot *possibly* be any "Dark Jedi" in the Star Wars universe, because Lucas has *only* used "Sith Lords" in his movies, and anything out of the mouths of babes and not of Lucas is pure heresy, yaddada-yaddada-yadda...

Actually, this is something of a misconception, as the Rebel Alliance did, in fact, control a number of sectors, including (IIRC) those belonging to Corellia and Calamari. This is also how the Incom Corporation was able to keep producing their X-Wing fighters, by fleeing into Alliance-held space and setting up shop there.

Yeah. I haven't checked on that yet, but Kyp Durron visited Vader's grave on Endor a year or so later, and the moon and it's inhabitants were intact. Also, tourists visited Endor for years after the battle, which I don't think they would have done if the moon had been contaminated.

Dark Jedi arent there either. He was A bad man
